Pray to be Gay

Religious types hate us

Because god made us so pretty,

Wealthy,

And happy without guilt.

A God-Awful Small Affair

Post Bowie,

now that he's passed,

there is no longer

any chance of finding

Life on Mars.

Difficult Times Indeed

You think life is hard

In this 24 hour news cycle

Cynical world

Led by criminal politicians

Facilitating a morally bereft

Corporate world.

Imagine being a meth smoking,

Transgender, lesbian, Muslim, refugee,

Living in poverty,

Just for a minute?

Tongues Out Queers

8am, Queen Street,

fittingly – laugh.

This guy,

let me tell you,

what a nice piece of arse,

as they say,

in his white tracky pants,

shall we say,

hi-lighting his "charms,"

first thing in the morning,

at the lights,

waiting for the green man.

Peak hour,

who'd have thought?

God bless

early gym,

I say.

There he was,

"all there,"

if you know what I mean.

Where to look?

It is hard to know,

in times such as these.

You can't just stare,

that isn't polite,

not quite right,

but my eyes

had different ideas,

not really

a surprise.

You should have seen,

"the head on that beer,"

as they say.

And my mind

was thinking,

thoughts of its own,

like me too, and,

I'd willingly

go under that bus

with my tongue out

queers.

Mind Control

People are anaesthetised by their mobile phones

The world passes them by and they don’t notice at all.

On the tram, everybody is glued to their glass screens.

Looking down, mesmerised, living the dream.

Values

What are these Western Values

of which you speak?

I’ve looked for them

Universally across the people

But they change all the time

Depending on those with the purse strings

and those who just complain,

and those who want to drag us back in time

and there is still the steeple

and the constant talk of evil,

despite nobody believing any more.

So, then we’re left with,

Money and footy and shopping,

Wars and those who fight in them

Bigger cars, bigger houses, and social climbing,

And those who are famous we hang off,

While we’re blaming the government for everything we got wrong.

Western Values

In Western Society

The biggest sin

Is being old.

Or is that cold, or bold, or told, or goaled, or wack?

Or female, or gay, or dumb, or ugly, or black?
